The joke is definitely referring to Fire Emblem. It might be Awkward Zombie or perhaps Brawl in the Family.

It was indeed Brawl in the Family. It's linked on Headscratchers.Fire Emblem at the end of the "you broke my book!" folder.

A webcomic parodying Breakable Weapons in a videogame. Specifically a character questions why spellbooks degrade with use and then sees someone light a spellbook on fire then throw it at the enemy.
Edit: PPPSSC answered with Magic Tomes
from Brawl in the Family which is definitely the joke I remember but Khantalas and I remember different art - does anyone know if anyone else did a version of the strip?
